Now require manufacturers to provide like 5 years of OS updates so devices aren't insecure bricks once you get updates.
OR disallow banking apps from blocking custom ROMs/root, so you can just install your own updates ROM without losing updates.
Already a EU regulation.
Huh? Which part?
Five years OS upgrades. I was mistaken though it's not law yet, just a finished commission proposal, scroll down to the end and look at the annex.
Oh wait that's actually the same thing that's promising replaceable batteries.
Oh shit, amazing!
